Should I buy a 2008 mazda3?

I commute to my university everyday. I currently drive an 02 Honda civic and it's a great car, but I kind of fell in love with the mazda. Are they reliable cars? Good for commuters?

Its a good car but you will be spending a lot of money just for basic appearance. It will not out perform the Honda or save you any money on fuel and may increase your insurance.

They are reliable but so is honda… Since your still in university i wouldnt recpmend it cuz it sounds like your honda is still in good shape.
Parts for hondas are easier to obtain much cheaper.
I'm not saying mazda 3 is that much more expensive but you should wait atleast till your last year of your studies.
